Stamp Mount Preferences

It seems there are "acid-free" glue sticks now, for the truly paranoid. This may just be a gimmick, since one of the ingredients in most glue sticks is sodium hydroxide, a very very strong base in it's pure form.

I recently went to a craft store (with a 50% off coupon) and purchased an item called "Tombo Mono Adhesive" which is basically a roll-on adhesive strip but is specifically rated as "removable", "acid-free", "photo-safe" and "leaves no residue". It goes on to say its removable bond "removes without tearing paper".

I found this very easy to use and it allowed me to adjust the mount very easily. I like the fact that there is no moisture involved and that the mount felt very secure once in place.

I also tried moving a few mounts and they came up without any bending or warping. I was able to remount them very easily.

I can see this coming in very handy in cases of publisher page updates or when changing albums. This could end up saving time and money which are always good things.
